You earn skill levels just by playing. Every time you mine, fight, fish, or cut trees, your skills go up, and you unlock special bonuses. It’s like an RPG where your character gets stronger the more you play. Try focusing on your favorite activity to become a pro at it!
How do I level up a skill?
Just keep using that skill—mining to level mining, fishing to level fishing, and so on. If you level up one skill too much in one day, you might stop earning XP, so make sure you switch things up!
What do I get from leveling up?
Each skill gives passive abilities, like faster actions or rare item drops. To see your progress and perks do /<skillname>. For example, you can do /archery, or /mining, or /acrobatics
